Fresh Start...

Now that Resurrection Sunday is over...do not go back to your old ways. Y'shua (Jesus) has given us a fresh start and a new beginning. We have been washed clean of our sins and made right with God!

This is our chance to show Y'shua that His death for our sins was not in vain! We need to renew our minds on a daily basis and keep our eyes set on Y'shua. 

Let us never forget the price that He paid for us. Let's show Him our appreciation by changing our sinful ways, picking up our cross and following Him.

Stay focused on the only thing that matters in this life...our journey and destination into eternal life! We should be celebrating daily that we have been redeemed and adopted by the One True God, through Y'shua.

Have a blessed and changed day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.

A lot can happen in 3 days...

A lot happened in just three days. We went from being sinners and enemies of God to becoming His chosen children. 

When Y'shua (Jesus) suffered and died on that cross, the took all of our sins with Him. When he rose up again, He was pure, holy and new. 

For those of us who have accepted Y'shua as our Lord and Savior, we to have been crucified with Him and we were resurrected into a new being through Him.

We are no longer slaves to sin and to this world but we are now citizens of Heaven and belong to God. We need to live our new life as such.

Have a wonderful, blessed and joyous Easter, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.

If you have not accepted Y'shua as your Savior and would like to know more, please feel free to contact me.

Always Pray to...

There are many different prayers we say. Prayers for healing, for employment, or for favor in a particular situation. 

They are all great and needed to be said. However, we should also pray for the things that will enable us to build up our spirit life and walk in righteousness.

God does not require long drawn out repetitive prayers. He requires prayer with heart desire. Sometime the simple earnest prayer is the one that will move Him.

I have learned that prayer is very important but it is equally as important to TALK to Him. Spend time in His presence and listen for His voice. He is always talking to us...sadly, we are often to busy to hear Him.

Have a blessed and prayerful day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.

We are what we think...

Our minds are very powerful and complex. We start to become the things we think about ourselves. Keep only positive and healthy thoughts in mind and let go of all others.

We should concentrate on what God says about us, not others. We need to continually renew our mind in the Word of God, embrace them and believe them. They will make us strong and positive thus enabling us to do the work of the kingdom in power and strength.

Likewise when we are negative and in fear. We become useless towards the work of the kingdom for we are weak and ineffective.

Choose each day how you want to live your life and what your attitude will say about you. Look around, the world has enough negative people. Let's start a positive chain reaction...encourage and lift someone else up today and they will pass it on!

Have a blessed and positive day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.

Someday...

If you keep putting things off until someday...you might as well just give up on ever getting them done! Time is precious so don't waste it.

"Someday" is an excuse not to do it today! God never promised us "someday"...all we are assured of is this very moment because the next moment we can be standing before Him.

Take a good look at the things in your life, the prioritize them. Eliminate things that are wasting to much of your time, then go after the things that are tugging at your heart.

We were not put on this earth to work, worry and stress. We need to accept that we will not get everything done perfectly...and that is ok, as long as we give it our BEST shot!

Have a blessed and purposeful day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.

Choose this day...

We all have a choice of what we will believe and who we will serve. We need to decide what it will be and then make a COMMITMENT to do so.

Y'shua (Jesus) died on a cross in public for our sins...is it fair to live for Him in private and not worship Him in public? 

This world is getting scarier and scarier...the President has turned his back on Israel, God has been removed from our schools, the government is slowly removing God from government buildings, our money and whatever else they can. It is as if no one has read the Old Testament! God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow! He did not stand for it then and He will not stand for it today!!!

I implore you, stand up as a Christian and say "Enough". Unless we do, we are agreeing with the decisions by keeping our silence. We need to hit our knees with unceasing prayers for our country, for the President to turn his heart towards Y'shua, for our schools and for our children!

May you have a blessed and prayer ignited day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.

Bend Don't Break

Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard we try...things will just not fall into place. That is when we need to take a step back and see what we are missing.

There are times when we need to be flexible instead of rigid. Bending and being flexible does NOT in any way mean to compromise the truth or your values. 

Sometimes it is as simple as listening to the voice of another, whose point of view is different than yours. Often there are times where two roads can lead to the same destination without compromise of values and truth.

Stand firm when necessary and be flexible whenever possible. You will find that things will be a lot easier. Blessed is the flexible for they shall never be bent out of shape!

Have a blessed and flexible day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.
